Chapter 323: Great Demand
If the people and soldiers can eat meat, this is something that many emperors in all dynasties and dynasties can't do.
If he Li Shimin's dynasty achieves that everyone can eat meat and eat enough, then the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty from top to bottom will definitely be renewed, and everyone will exude vitality, and he Li Shimin and his Zhenguan dynasty will also be famous through the ages, anyway, when it comes to the matter of Xuanwumen, it is also necessary to talk about this matter, he Li Shimin will not be regarded as a stench for 10,000 years, and he is also confident that he will definitely be a generation of Ming Jun, and his Tang Zhenguan Dynasty will also be famous through the ages.
The soldiers are brave and mighty, the famous generals sit on the frontier, the good ministers and the kings are in the court, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
"And what about the price of pork for the army?" Li Shimin asked.
"Eighteen Wen, I have inquired about the price of military rations, and it is generally twenty-five or six or seven Wen a catty, and eighteen Wen a catty of meat, they must be willing to do it. If you give them eighteen wen, then I'll give you fifteen wen, transport goods or something, I can ask someone to kill the pig for you, you just let someone take it. ”
Qin Shou said.
To buy a pig to grow up and slaughter, what is needed is only six or seven hundred yuan or even five hundred or four hundred yuan, a pig is one hundred and fifty catties, fifteen yuan per catty, and the net income is about 1,500 yuan.
"Didn't you say that it doesn't cost much money to raise piglets, why is it eighteen cents a catty, the army is in great demand, or else, you can reduce the price again, think about it, if I can eat meat in the Tang Dynasty, why be afraid of the Turks, this is a good thing for the country and the people." Li Shimin said.
Eighteen cents and a pound of meat gritted his teeth, this money should be available to the treasury to supply to the sixteen guards of Chang'an, but he is three cents, one pound of three cents, three cents can enter his inner treasury is the emperor's private money, no matter how big the demand of the army is, then he is not looking for someone to pull the goods, this is not his son to work for him.
It was he, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who worked for his son.
Depend on!
I really owe this kid!
Difficult!
"No, I still want twenty yuan and five yuan, if it weren't for the fact that I only priced twenty yuan in order to let the people eat pork, Li Er's army wants a lot of pork, I really give eighteen yuan to save face, besides, what are you doing here? We are making Li Er's money, and it is not impossible to pit him to bankruptcy sooner or later. ”
Qin Shou said.
Pit to bankruptcy?
Boy, your heart is so dark!
If someone else said in front of him that they would pit him to bankruptcy, then he would immediately punish that person's entire family, that is, if the current crown prince Li Chengqian dared to speak like this, he would also do something to make Chengqian sober up.
Qin Shou is also his own son.
"Okay, let's eat first, I'm hungry too. The family made pork ribs today, and it was made by your Aunt Bai and Xiaorou themselves. ”
Sun Mingyue came back and said that just now she went to the back kitchen with Dashan to help cook.
This Aunt Bai and Bai Xiaorou are the Zhuang households of Lijiazhuang, they usually help cook here at Qin Shou's house, they are the cooks at home, and the dishes they originally cooked were not very good, but when Qin Shou was thirteen years old, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he handed over his cooking methods to Aunt Bai and Bai Xiaorou.
After Aunt Bai and Bai Xiaorou learned these stir-fry cooking skills from Qin Shou, someone usually asks them to help cook every once in a while, and it is indispensable to give a red envelope for hard work, plus the income from cooking at Qin Shou's house, it is enough for this thin mother and daughter to live well.
A few people went to eat, six dishes, namely, scrambled eggs with leeks, back to the pot meat, sweet and sour pork ribs, mushroom stewed broth, braised pork trotters, and fish-flavored eggplant.
While eating, a jar of wine was also brought over by Sun Mingyue and filled a glass for everyone.
Li Shimin took a sip of this wine, the taste of this wine is more intense than the usual ones, and the strength is even higher, strong and spicy, one bite down, the whole mouth to the throat, there is a fire burning fiercely.
It's so spicy! Rao is usually even the strongest wine in the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, who can pour more than ten jars at once, thinks it is too strong, this wine is really domineering.
After drinking the wine, Li Er suddenly talked about the price of the pork again, and he hooked his shoulders with Qin Shou, put one hand on Qin Shou's shoulder, and immediately sat there: "Why do you say that you want to pit Your Majesty, Your Majesty is such a good person, it is not right for you to do this, young man." ”
"Yes, you see, our Tang Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, and this is all thanks to His Majesty's good governance and diligence in state affairs, so that we have today's good situation."
"Your Majesty didn't offend you either, didn't provoke you. Why? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling hurriedly persuaded, this eldest prince is really favored and coquettish, you can do such a thing as a pit father, why bother to say it in front of your father.
You're still in front of us, and we're your father's subordinates and your father's old buddies, can I listen to you?
"He is rich, and he is the richest person in the entire Datang, how can he do it if he doesn't cheat."
Qin Shou snorted coldly.
Then a few people drank and drank wine, and talked about sending troops to the Turks.
"Xiao Shou, I have a friend who works in the military department, and he has recently said a lot about the expedition to the Turks, do you think you can win the war?"
Fang Xuanling asked.
As soon as the cannon sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels, and the war will definitely need money, military food and grass supply, and the responsibility of the heavy burden of all this support will fall on him, Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the dynasty.
So he is also trembling about this matter, Datang is now just a country for more than ten years, this military expenditure can be said to be the foundation of Datang for so many years, as the financial steward of Datang, Fang Xuanling said that it is not distressed is false, it is good to win, if you can't win, you lose money and lose face again, Your Majesty's face is not good-looking, and his face will be ugly.
"Just fight, Li Jing, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, is the trump card in the hands of His Majesty, you can win with any command, it's just ......"
At the beginning, the previous words were said in Li Shimin's heart, but the latter sentence made Li Shimin have a bad premonition.
"Just what?"
"It's just a battle, and it is inevitable that a lot of Tang soldiers will be sacrificed."
"In war, there are no immortals, the Turks are a great shame for the Tang Dynasty, and they must be fought to the end!"
Li Shimin picked up a bowl of wine, drank the wine in the bowl directly, and then clenched his hands into a fist and smashed it on the table.
